Joshua HollandWaPo workers are walking out on Thursday. They're asking that we show solidarity and respect their digital picket line by not engaging with any Washington Post content on Dec 7. #labor #media
sleet01@JoshuaHolland I hate to tell them, but I basically stopped engaging with WaPo in 2016.

Gladly. I rarely look at their content anyway.

Wendy Lady@JoshuaHolland with the ridiculous paywalls at WaPo that even circumvent the reader mode, they make it kinda easy to not engage with their articles.
Cymphoni Fantastique@JoshuaHolland done and done. You don't have to ask twice. Solidarity forever.
Jake in the desert@JoshuaHolland easy! hahaha

I'm not a WaPo person, and when I try to read articles from here they are firewalled so no biggy.
I am curious on why are they walking out

josh buermann"For 18 months, members of our union, the Post Guild, have sought to negotiate a fairer contract for us all. But management has refused to bargain in good faith and repeatedly — and illegally — shut down negotiations over key issues, such as pay equity, raises that keep pace with inflation and our competitors, remote work policies, mental health supports, and a buyout package that seeks to reduce our workforce by 10 percent."
@buermann @JoshuaHolland So the same stuff that most strikes are about. Management not wanting to actually make it worth working for the company.
TengrainI will support the WaPo Guild’s walk-out on Thursday.
Marquise de What 🇨🇦@JoshuaHolland thanks, it's not like WaPo is announcing this. 🤨
Accept purpose.@JoshuaHolland The only confirmation for this that I found was on their X/Twitter page.
Someone should tell them to update https://postguild.org/ since the X/bird is gameable at managements behest.

SpaceLifeFormThey are late to the game. The editorial board has obviously had issues for a long time.

kechpaja@JoshuaHolland That shouldn't be too hard, given that it's such a pain to get to any of their content without a subscription.
B-Sizzle 
@JoshuaHolland It's all behind a pay wall anyway.
M.S. Bellows, Jr.@JoshuaHolland Oh, no. This might help the Times.
Hugh Ferguson@JoshuaHolland sure, nor will I order anything on Amazon...The WP is Bezo's paper.
This is Hell
JA Westenberg@JoshuaHolland on it. Thanks for sharing! Deleting the app for the day.
(((Cindy Weinstein)))@JoshuaHolland. Each day makes disengagement easier. To wit, today's latest data-free entry. (It would have been so easy to quote JAMA: "the regret rate following gender-affirming surgery is thought to be approximately 1%"). https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/article-abstract/2808129
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/12/06/detransitioners-transgender-care-laws/ (gifted)
I assume I will read an article tomorrow about the 99% who have no regrets, whose lives have been saved, who are fleeing their home states because their #medical care is being taken away, banned (like books).
WarmasterPalakI don't engage with WaPo content any other day of the year, so easy ask.
But I do wish them success.
Todd Horowitz@JoshuaHolland Too late! I already read the comics. Oh, wait, you said "digital". Never mind!
Frances LarinaGosh, I'll do my best but I've not been there since the big rework of the site when Arianna owned it.
